How much down time is that anyways for all those mods... We all know its not a huge difference in greatness over a regular Z but it is a little better for the stuff you do get, hence the price and yes there probably are other parts that are better than the nismo parts but its a complete package. Not this part from this place and that from that place. Like stated before you can add all the better parts to your base Z and it won't be worth anything. You may have a better handling or faster Z in the end but you will have wasted even more money because the aftermarket parts you did throw on aren't worth a flip when you go to trade or sell. WE NISMO owners KNOW a better faster car can be had and they should have made a bigger difference which I'm sure would have cost even more $$$. But for what it is, with what it comes with...... We didn't over pay for just a body kit. Again is the nismo worth it....YES. Is it for you? That's something else.
thats why you sell the aftermarket parts on the FORSALE section . You at least make 30-70 percent of your original investment back.

also if you were to buy all the parts at the same time, IM definitely positive the company could slide a discount or deal in there for you considering the extent of the products your purchased.

The items I listed I all bolt on and that means BOLT OFF. So at the end of the day, say you spend 10k...you may get back 3-7 grand depending on condition. Lose value by standard depreciation which is less in a Z than a NISMO.

Buy a set of Venaci wheels for 3-4 grand and you can easily get 2500-3000 back. Of course your going to say, why mod the car knowing your going to lose 500 to a grand on the wheels....SAME THING I ASK NISMO OWNERS...why spend 40k and then a year later its down to 30k. Ratio is WAY MORE but I guess the modded Z loses yet again against the monster NISMO.
